Add an Interactive 3D Viewer to the Template Editor

Introduce a built‑in interactive 3D viewer within the Template Editor that allows users to preview templates in real time. This viewer would display how a template applies to 3D models (e.g. corridors, terrain, alignments, utilities, or structural...
